‘JESUS NEVER EXISTED’: Writer Says There’s No Mention Of Jesus In 126 Historical Texts, ‘He’s a Myth’
This should be a fun one to kick around on Christian blogs. What’s your response to this cat’s conclusion? Share with the brethren, por favor. Amen.
Historical researcher Michael Paulkovich has claimed that Jesus of Nazareth was a ‘mythical character’ and never existed.
The controversial discovery was apparently made after he found no verifiable mention of Christ from 126 writers during the ‘time of Jesus’ from the first to third centuries.
He says he is a fictional character invented by followers of Christianity to create a figure to worship.
The claims were made in an article for Free Inquiry called The Fable of the Christ and a book called No Meek Messiah.
In the article and book, Paulkovich says he found an absence of evidence for Jesus in historical texts.
